These are some images from our time in Florida, one day we visited the Myakka River State Park after a visit to the Cape Coral area to see the Burrowing Owls. While watching the Burrowing Owls I also noticed the Loggerhead Shrike, seen below. It was also the spot were we saw the Monk Parakeets, I posted on a previous post.

Below is the Loggerhead Shrike seen on a wire near the ball field. It was a pretty blue sky above the Shrike.

This is one of the many Roseate Spoonbills we saw at the Myakka River State Park. It was a pretty sky and sunny day.

I am thankful for my eyesight, I am able to see the beauty in the world.

I hope you enjoyed my post and photos. Thanks so much for visiting and for your nice comments. Have a happy day!

I am sharing another Florida bird with the help of my Flickr photos. This is the Black-crowned Night Heron. We saw these herons in various parks and places in Florida. These shots were taken at the Lettuce Lake Park near Tampa, Florida.

At Lettuce Lake Park there is a boardwalk and you just look down at the birds, most birds were really close.

The Black-crowned Night Heron's have mostly grey and black plumage. They breed in colonies and they live around fresh and salt water wetlands.

Thank you for stopping by and as always I appreciate your comments.

My list of memes for today, I hope to see you there. Thanks to both of the host below.

Happy Saturday, it's time to share your critters and post. Any kind of critter will do, even a new or old post.. I appreciate everyone who is linking in with this week's critter party.For those who did not see my last post , we returned home from our visit to Washington State for two weeks only to find out my desktop computer is messed up. The auto update from Windows 10 did not work well. I have been using my mini iPad to comment and visit blogs for now. But, it is taking longer. So I will be visiting, it may just take me longer until I have my desktop back.Luckily this post was scheduled, I am sharing some more of my favorite sights from the Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland Florida. I hope you enjoy my photos. Come for a walk on the trails with me and this Great Blue Heron.

The light is shining just right to catch the pretty colors on this Purple Gallinule.

I believe this is a female Anhinga showing off her pretty feathers.

The Great Blue Herons do like to pose for the cameras.

The Green Heron does not mind striking a pose.

A pretty female Hooded Merganser and her reflection.

This female Painted Bunting was a little shy and tried hiding in the brush along the trail. Can you see her, she is bright green in color?

This is the cool looking Turquoise Long-tailed Skipper seen on the Alligator Alley trail.

Lake Hancock can be seen from walking the trail called Alligator Alley. On this day we saw a group of Brown Pelicans with some Cormorants.

As always thanks for the visits and the nice comments. I also thank everyone who is linking up and sharing their critters.. Happy Saturday, have a great weekend!

We've had a lot going on lately, this past Saturday evening we arrived home after vacationing 2 weeks in Washington State. Then I started having problems with my desktop after the Windows 10 anniversary update? So, as I type this post on my tiny mini iPad our desktop in the repair shop! I have not loaded my camera photos onto my computer and I only have these camera photos. I can not share any Washington state birds, they are still on my camera. Enjoy the view!

This scene is of the Olympic Mountains at the Hoh River.

We like to fly on Southwest Air, we had a direct flight to Seattle and then rented a car to drive all around. We drove a loop started at the Mt. Rainier Nat'l Park, Anacortes, Port Angeles, Cape Flattery, La Push, Olympic Nat'l Park and Olympia back to Sea-Tac.

I appreciate your visit and for your comments! I wish everyone a great day and weekend ahead!

For my Thankful Thursday list:
I am thankful for a fun time in Washington and that the sun shined on us while we were there!
I am thankful for good wifi to type this post.
I am thankful for everyone who visited and commented on my blog while I was away!
